Re:trying to install k3b

Just login as root and type
removepkg gcc-3.2.2, then download the package off the CD, and install it the usual way. Hopefully it is just a bad file in there somewhere. Are you sure that the tgz didn't install it though. It usually does just give the package description. Try to run it and see what happens. The other thing to check is if you have your kernel-headers installed. The easiest way to find out is to go into /var/log/packages and type ls *kernel*. There probably isn't a package there called kernel-headers, in which case you need to download and install it. HTH

cdrdao 1.1.7 does not support ATAPI
The configured version of cdrdao does not support writing to ATAPI devices without SCSI emulation and there is at least one writer in your system not configured to use SCSI emulation.
Solution: The best and recommended solution is to enable ide-scsi (SCSI emulation) for all writer devices. This way you won't have any problems. Or you install (or select as the default) a more recent version of cdrdao.
